Monday, August 30:
R. writes to the King, explains the position to him, and suggests that he go to Munich to make possible a good performance by Sunday.
In the afternoon telegram from Düfflipp (see the documents). Richard decides to make the journey. Great anxiety over this decision; R. says he knows he will return home fit; the reason why he was so ill following Die Meistersinger was not his vexation, but our separation.
